The improved female villains regained their memories.

Chapter 454 The True Demon

In "The Flowers of Evil," it was written: rotting corpses by the roadside, withered bones hanging high on the shore of a deserted island, and beautiful, alluring, yet diseased flowers.

Is reality really that important?

Nihilism states: "Only what we perceive through our senses, that is, what we experience personally, is real and exists; everything else is nothingness." Truth is always a sharp knife that wounds, and humans are animals that pursue the senses, constructing a world that they are obsessed with based on sensory stimulation, thus desecrating all sacred things.

Nothing else matters; only the happiness before your eyes is what matters.

Humans will eventually die, and civilizations will one day perish. What can one gain from deliberate pursuit?

Yang Pingsheng, standing before the young girl, had created a pie called happiness.

Here, the girl is Li Chumo. She receives all the love and care, and the people she cares about also have happy endings. She can do whatever she wants, even if it means desecrating the white moonlight in her heart.

Steel is not afraid of steel of equal hardness, but it is afraid of fire, which is ethereal and soft. Even the strongest will will soften in the happiness of this moment.

Sword Soul Heart is very strong, but Taixu Earth is not bad either.

Everything is illusory, fleeting like smoke; only by cherishing the happiness of this moment can one find meaning in life.

Yang Pingsheng reached out and stroked the girl's cheek.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the girl's heart stirred again; her heart pounded so hard that ripples of autumn water unconsciously appeared in her dark eyes.

The previous aloofness seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the warmth of her palms. This warmth transformed into wisps of electricity, bringing a rosy glow to the girl's cheeks.

Yang Pingsheng asked, "Does this world have any meaning?"

There's a master, a grandmother, a large family, food, clothes, care, love, and more...

The girl murmured to herself, and suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her dark eyes, and her shy demeanor vanished.

"It makes no sense!"

"What!?"

-------------

"!?"

Taixu, the illusory figure took a few steps back, looking at the person in front of him with slight surprise.

She was rarely surprised; the last time she was surprised was by Jiang Mochang, and that time was countless lifetimes ago.

She was merely a phantom, acting according to the original's instructions. Even so, she still possessed a portion of the original's power. Not to mention that the girl's will was faltering at the moment, even in her prime, she shouldn't have wanted to break free so quickly.

It's not about breaking free, it's about wanting to break free.

The most powerful aspect of the Phantom move is that even if the victim knows they've been hit, it's very difficult for them to think about breaking free.

But the girl in front of me did it.

She was severely injured, and her will was almost broken by the power of the Great Void. Her strength was not even that of an Earth Immortal, but she still managed to do it.

The next moment, the girl opened her eyes.

The phantom narrowed her eyes slightly. She keenly noticed that the girl's eyes had changed. They were no longer sharp swords, but unfathomable, as black as an abyss.

The phantom instinctively praised, "Well done."

"Thank you for your kind words." The girl smiled helplessly, looking somewhat weak. "I didn't expect anyone to attack me. Judging from this, you must be an enemy."

The remaining pink on the girl's body sensed something, and as if facing a formidable enemy, began to tremble violently.

"Enemies? Hmm, you could say that. I am indeed hostile to that woman and Yang Pingsheng. They would love to kill me." The illusory figure stood with his hands behind his back, making no attempt to hide anything.

The girl gave a weary smile: "I thought you'd lie to me again, like you were actually here to help me or something..."

The illusory figure chuckled faintly: "You've already seen through my methods. What good is mere verbal deception?"

"not to mention......."

The illusory figure pointed again: "Do you think I need it?"

The girl was on high alert.

After she saw through the fake Yang Pingsheng in that world, the whole world began to collapse violently, and it took her a long time to break free.

Now that the other party has used this tactic again, she has to be on guard.

Unfortunately, the pink light couldn't stop it all, and when that power surged up, the girl closed her eyes again.

This time, however, the girl opened her eyes quickly.

The phantom let out a soft "hmm" and pointed again.

The girl closed her eyes, then opened them.

The increasing speed indicates that this tactic is no longer effective.

The true form left behind little; aside from mobilizing the authority of the green miniature world, this was the only move it had against a single opponent.

The phantom wanted to kill the girl directly, but the pink energy protected her body, resisting the power of the Great Void and blocking the phantom's attack.

Although the pink energy wouldn't last long, so would her illusory form.

The Great Ruins are unfathomable. Even a small amount of its soil can become one of the four great treasures of heaven and earth in the main world, which shows how terrifying it is.

The reason why Taixu and Jiang Mochang have been fighting for so many years is not only because Jiang Mochang himself is not bad, but also because Taixu suppresses him.

"Although my true form left some arrangements here, it is still close to the spatial traces, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long."

"Jiang Mochang has also realized what's happening and will probably use a diversionary tactic, attacking the small world to force me to return." The illusory figure narrowed its eyes, now found itself in a dilemma.

The girl was pale; she had been hit repeatedly and was in poor condition.

Her will was almost at a critical point. Her strength in the Taixu was not weak, but it was practically nonexistent. If it weren't for the remaining pink energy protecting her, she suspected that a spiritual energy attack from the phantom opposite her might have killed her.

She knew she couldn't win a fight, so the girl could only hope that the other party would give way on their own.

Neither of them had a way to break the deadlock, so they remained at an impasse for a while.

In the end, the phantom figure made up its mind and said to the girl, "You were able to get rid of my move. Regardless of your talent, your willpower alone is enough to make me take you seriously."

The girl gave a helpless laugh: "Well, thank you so much."

She could tell that the illusory figure before her was an arrogant person. She wasn't being sarcastic when she said that; she genuinely believed it.

The phantom hesitated for a moment, then looked at her and said, "I must admit, you are more troublesome than I thought, so I plan to try a different approach."

"I want to make a deal with you."

The girl spoke: "I don't..."

"Don't rush to refuse, let me finish speaking first." The illusory figure raised his hand and made a pressing motion, interrupting the girl's words, and said, "You don't know what kind of storm you are stepping into. Why do you think that pink guy dragged you into Taixu? Because you will help Yang Pingsheng? Or because of your so-called gratitude? No, it's neither. It's because you are a person without destiny, the only one who can reverse her adversity."

“Through the last few times, I roughly understand your thoughts. You want revenge, you want to repay kindness, that’s fine, no problem, I can satisfy all your desires. I can make you the master of that world, give you power stronger than the spatial Dao Mark, and even give you higher authority. You can take revenge, you can repay kindness, you can do whatever you want.”

"To put it bluntly, I can make what happened in the illusion just now actually happen in reality. I have that ability."

"I know you don't like me because of the attack just now, but actually, I didn't kill you, did I? On the other hand, that pink madwoman made you take risks. On the surface, it was to revive you, but in reality, she wanted you to comprehend the Dao of Space so that you could devour the female villain in your world and make you the female villain."

"Villains, protagonists, the Way of Heaven, the Way of Humanity—these are all too far removed from you, and becoming a female villain is definitely not a good thing. I understand and empathize with your feelings for Yang Pingsheng, therefore, I can let you have Yang Pingsheng, just as I just said, to turn those illusions into reality. In fact, I am your best trading partner, because that pink-haired madwoman won't let you do this."

"By making a deal with me, you can get everything, whether it's what you insist on or what you want. On the other hand, if you listen to that pink madwoman, you'll only be throwing your life away on this treacherous path. Even if you get the spatial Dao trace, what good will it do? The target of your revenge is the female villain. She wields pure Tai Xu power, which involves the laws of time. Only the power I give you can help you complete your revenge."

"Although I did attack you, believe me, I am your best partner."

The phantom didn't expose the deception related to the human chess game; she simply promised the girl something.

Indeed, that is true; she is truly the best partner for young girls.

She had no feelings for Yang Pingsheng, and the death of the female villain would also benefit her, so from a purely self-interested perspective, what she wanted did not conflict with what the young girl wanted.

But she heard the girl insist, "I refuse."

"Why?" The phantom frowned. "I just made myself very clear. You don't understand what you're involved in, so you just need to pursue what you want. And I can give you everything you're pursuing."

"If your reason for refusing is that you don't believe what I say, then I can find a way to reassure you and put your mind at ease."

Even after all that had been said, the girl still shook her head: "I refuse."

The phantom's eyes narrowed slightly: "You trust that pink-clad lunatic so much?"

The girl replied, "That's all I wanted to do."

The phantom fell silent.

This kind of unreasonable answer also happened a long, long time ago in Taixu.

That time, it was Jiang Mochang.

-------------

Taixu.

Same phantom image, different people.

After listening to the illusory figure's eloquent speech, Jiang Mochang sneered and remained unmoved.

She was more decisive and resolute than a young girl: "I refuse."

The phantom looked at Jiang Mochang. Before this, she had never taken this female villain seriously. In so many reincarnations, the other party was just like other female villains, simply following her predetermined path, without any change.

In that world, she mingled in gangs, reaping lives under the guise of a talisman master. She squandered money when she had it and saved it when she didn't. She killed innocent people, but she also saved the weak who were being bullied.

She has been ostracized, and she has also ostracized others. When she is normal, she is like the little girl next door; when she goes crazy, she is like someone who has just escaped from a mental hospital.

She had cried, laughed, pretended to be crazy, acted foolish, and even wailed when Yang Pingsheng left, but returned to normal the next day.

Human will had no effect on her; even an illusory image could not see into the deepest part of Jiang Mochang's heart.

Therefore, she asked in bewilderment, "The intentions of the people in the game have no effect on you, and you are not doing this for power, status, or any other nonsense. What exactly did Yang Pingsheng promise you that made you help him like this?"

"What did he promise me? Let me think..." Jiang Mochang said slowly, then suddenly changed the subject: "That's strange, why would you ask me that question? Do I have to get something in return before I do this? Can't I do it if I want to?"

The phantom's eyes narrowed slightly, its tone chilling: "Just because you're willing, you're willing to pay such a high price, planning to wage a protracted war against me in Taixu, is that it?"

"Isn't that reason enough?"

Jiang Mochang laughed and said, "It's like some people like money, some like women, some want to be number one in the world, some want to slack off and do nothing, but me, I just like to go against you, even if it's like being in prison here, I still like it."

"I have no grudge against you, nor any conflict of interest with you."

“Yes, I’d love to deal with you, it’s in my interest,” Jiang Mochang said. “Seeing you get the short end of the stick and suffer makes me feel great, like I’m flying. So you can go back now, there’s nothing for us to talk about.”
